The Jacksonville Jaguars have added a new face to their quarterback room, signing former Memphis star Seth Henigan. Head coach Liam Coen praised the addition, calling Henigan a “coach’s kid with a ton of production and a natural stroke,” highlighting the veteran signal-caller’s extensive college experience and polished fundamentals.
Standing at 6-foot-3 and weighing 215 pounds, Henigan brings with him a decorated résumé from his four seasons at Memphis. He exits college football as the American Athletic Conference’s all-time leader in passing yards (14,266) and passing touchdowns (104), showcasing his prolific production in one of the nation’s most offense-friendly conferences. Across 50 career games, Henigan maintained a 64 percent completion rate and kept turnovers largely in check, throwing 31 interceptions — an impressive feat considering his high volume of pass attempts.
While Henigan’s raw numbers are eye-popping, scouts have noted that his physical tools are more modest. His arm strength doesn’t leap off the tape, and he has at times struggled to consistently deliver throws beyond the short-to-intermediate range. However, his experience and high football IQ — traits often attributed to his “coach’s kid” background — make him an intriguing developmental option.
Henigan’s athleticism adds another dimension to his game. When factoring out sack yardage, he amassed 1,346 rushing yards and 10 rushing touchdowns in his career, displaying a willingness and ability to make plays with his legs when needed. His turnover-worthy play rate of 2.7% further underscores his ability to take care of the football — a trait valued highly at the professional level.
While Henigan may not push for immediate starting reps, his vast starting experience and solid decision-making could position him as a valuable backup or developmental prospect for the Jaguars. His performance in training camp will be worth monitoring as he adjusts to the speed and complexity of the NFL game. If he can continue to protect the football and show growth in pushing the ball downfield, Henigan could carve out a meaningful role in Jacksonville’s quarterback plans.
For now, the Jaguars have added a proven winner and a steady hand to their roster — one who knows how to handle the pressure that comes with leading an offense.
